Match Prediction: Virtus.pro - GODSENT | CS2 (CS:GO)
ECS Season 5 EuropeThe roster of the organization Virtus.Pro is going through a really tough time and even the replacement of TaZ on MICHU hasn’t helped a lot. At the moment, the team holds the 13th place in the rate of the best teams by HLTV and may be replaced by the guys from Space Soldiers. Over the past month, the team held 4 places at Premier Division - Europe, Bets.net Masters: Season 1, and GG:Origin and also lost the grand final of V4 Future Sports Festival - Budapest 2018.
In the qualifying round to ECS S5, Virtus.Pro’s results include three losses against Astralis, Fnatic and Mousesports and also draws against FaZe Clan, G2 eSports and Gambit eSports. Neo and the company have chosen a map de_nuke in the first match, which is the best one in the history of the Polish five. The team has played 79 matches and has a win rate 64.6%.
In its turn, GODSENT holds the 19th place, according to the rate by HLTV, and hasn’t visited a LAN tournament. Also, a map de_nuke is the worst possible option for the Swedish team - the team played only eight times in its history and has a win rate 37,5%. In 2018, the team has played the above-mentioned map only against BIG and Space Soldiers, however, they managed to beat the Turks.
Bookmakers consider the Poles to be an obvious favorite of the match and offer odds for their victory in the sum of 1.35 and GODSENT’s victory is evaluated as 2.75. We also think that the Swedish has no chances on the first map and you can bet on Virtus.Pro’s victory for sure.
De_train was chosen as the second map and this was GODSENT’s pick. This map is one of the favorites for disco doplan and the company and the guys have played 19 times on it in 2018. The team prevailed 10 times, however, they play very unstably on it - if GODSENT losses the match, they lose with a horrible score like 16:3.
Virtus.Pro don’t afraid to use de_train on the professional stage and have played 17 on it this year, won only eight of them. It is worth to notice that loses were in a very tense struggle and the Poles were winning more than 13 rounds or lost overtimes.
Bookmakers think that Virtus.Pro will have to prevail on this map and offer odds for their victory that is equal to 1.6. In its turn, GODSENT’s triumph is evaluated as 2.2. We think that the teams’ chances are almost equal and the Swedes will be able, at least, to show a decent fight on a map de_train.
As a result, we think that GODSENT will be unlikely to win with a score 2:0, however, they may hope for a draw due to their skill of playing against famous opponents and a pick of one of their strongest maps.
